I have included meal ideas for six days. For the seventh day feel free to serve any leftovers (we call it buffet dinner) or your family's favorite meal. I didn't use names of the days as everyone's schedule differs. For example, I do my grocery shopping on Wednesday afternoons so my meal plan usually begin with that day as I have a stocked refrigerator and pantry then. I will try to post meal and snack ideas for a week the same day (Sunday night) so that you may plan your shopping no matter what day you do it.

Playing With Your Food


My 8 year old daughter, Cara, wanted to take this picture of her breakfast. We had pan-fried toast using hamburger buns (great way to use up leftover buns). We also had kiwi, orange and cantaloupe slices. She added scrambled egg hair after she snapped this picture.
